The Day of the Dead is commemorated with altars and offerings called ofrendas, which are created to honor deceased loved ones. Families gather to set up these altars, decorating them with photos, candles, and the favorite foods of the departed. A crucial element is the incorporation of marigolds, known as cempasuchil, believed to guide spirits back to their earthly homes. This celebration is a vivid expression of remembrance and connection between the living and the dead, emphasizing the ongoing bond of love and honor throughout generations.
